While many of us celebrate the New Year on January 1st, which just happens to be the day after my Sophie's birthday, there are millions of people around the world that celebrate this Holiday at a different time.

The Lunar New Year, which is based on the phases of the moon, will be celebrated on February 19, 2015. This important holiday is celebrated by Asians, including Asian-Americans, and is a time of great celebration. Traditional celebrations include parades, complete with loads of fanfare, firecrackers, and even the much-loved Lantern Festival, where gorgeous lanterns are carried in a night time parade to usher in the new year. How cool is that?!

The folks at Best Buy love to recognize the beauty of diversity. In honor of the Lunar New Year, they are offering an Asian-inspired, Lunar New Year Gift Card. The Lunar New Year gift card features Koi fish, Chinese characters, and of course, some beautiful golden lanterns. It really does capture the spirit of this important global holiday!

This gorgeous card can be purchased in both physical and e-gift card form, and will be available on BestBuy.com from November 1, 2014-February 22, 2015.

For an eGift card, which is delivered via e-mail and can be used on BestBuy.com or in stores, scroll to the right of the following link under the "occassions"tab: http://www.bestbuy.com/egiftcard. You can customize the amount of the eGift Card, and even add a special message for the recipient!

That is so neat! I would LOVE to be able to see the parades. I hear the food in NYC is amazing, too. I am a fan of Greek and Italian, especially! Of course what we have here in OH is a pale comparison to authentic restaurants you likely get to enjoy!
